I'm sorry your experience wasn't what you'd hoped. How are you faring now?
Ugh, I'm sorry you have to go through this! I hope you've found a surgeon you're comfortable with the second time around. I found this posting by a woman in Atlanta about to schedule a tummy tuck. A lot of plastic surgeons recommend one or two doctors in particular.
I totally understand how you'd be nervous. Please keep us posted. I hope all goes well.
